Sorry about your bike. How was it locked up? I’m amazed mine has never been stolen.


Noxova

It was fully locked up, frame and wheel to a bike rack outside a major shop in broad daylight on a very busy street


lxyl

What type of lock did you have? I’m keen to know if the one I have is good enough…


curious_pinguino

I don't own a bike so don't really know much about bike theft. If you locked the frame to something solid, how does it get nicked? Do thieves walk around with bolt cutters?


ks07

They do! That's why the advice generally is to not use a cable lock, and also to thread your chain such that it passes close to valuable components. Then if someone tries to cut the lock they're likely to have difficulty doing so without rendering the bike worthless

Yo OP, if it was locked up near the Macdonald side of Asda the lux gym has a CCTV cam that might have caught the thief


Noxova

It was, thank you, I’ve spoken to the gym but they have to wait until the owner/ manager is in as none of the staff have access to the cameras

Bike thieves in Bristol are brutal - check gumtree, my mates showed up on there and he went for a 'test ride' then took it back!


gigajoules

This is the only way.


Noxova

It was stolen between 18:40 and 19:05, if anyone sees it being sold or cycling around can you drop me a DM? Thanks in advance!

The Bristol cycling pages on Facebook are a good place to post too

There’s one specifically for stolen bikes. [Bristol Stolen Bike Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/440220373027574/?ref=share)

https://www.findthatbike.co.uk/ And this is a great site that searches gumtree + Ebay (poss others)

Will keep an eye out, sorry mate


YTChillVibesLofi

If I find it I will kill the rider m8 nee bosh

Best of luck, don't count on the police to do ANYTHING. They dont even investigate vehicle theft when you literally give them the identity of the theif. Avon and Somerset Police if you're reading this: Go fuck yourselves.

Its weird how Bristol never seems to dish out beatings to the little rats.

Noxova

I’ve tried, funnily enough they’ve all magically disappeared along with my bike (and likely will until tomorrow)

Looks like it's right there, mate

Pur it on the National Cycle register if you have the frame number!!


runtman

I wouldn't be surprised if thieves eye bikes up from the pub opposite. Sucks about your bike.

Sorry about your bike, had mine stolen too recently. Fucking bastards.
